[BlueOnyx:02025] Perl conflicts in upgrade attempt

[Chuck Tetlow]

Hi everyone,

I've run into a problem updating one of our BX servers.  Perl and its dependancies won't upgrade.  Most of it appears to be conflict with the package perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30-1.noarch.

Does anyone recognize that package name, or know what its used for?  Or know why it would prevent all these perl files form installing (due to conflict).  It appears that almost all the conflicting files from the perl upgrade are man-pages, with only one file /usr/bin/instmodsh otherwise.  So I may just attempt to perform the upgrade without conflict checks.  But I'd prefer to figure out the problem rather than heavy-handing the upgrade.

The output from the upgrade attempt is below - in case anyone can read it.

Thanks everyone.

Chuck
